What It Takes to Launch

Initial Franchise Fee
- $30,000 for territories up to 350,000 population
- +$10,000 per additional 500,000-person tranche
- Brand license, territory rights, training, software, onboarding
Equipment
- 1 × ¾-ton pickup truck
- 2 to 3 × MobileDumps trailers
- Strong vendor relationships keep prices low
- Financeable or purchase outright
Operating Capital
- Low end if owner-operator
- High end if hiring a full-time team member day one
- Covers insurance, fuel, marketing, working cash
Range includes franchise fee, equipment, and operating capital. Equipment and capital can be financed.
$300K – $1M+ in revenue at maturity
Break-even typically lands between months 12 and 18; steady-state profitability follows in year two. Customer mix is roughly 60% residential, 40% commercial — both are repeat-buyer segments. Full Item 19 performance representations are available in the FDD.
Talk to Us About a Territory
Tell us where you are looking and a MobileDumps franchise representative will schedule a discovery call within 48 hours. No commitment — just answers.
How long does the application process take?
From initial inquiry to signed FDD typically takes 2-4 weeks: 48 hours for FDD delivery, then time for discovery calls and your own due diligence.
What financing options are available?
SBA 7(a) loans are the most common financing path. Equipment financing and 401(k) rollovers (ROBS) are also viable. We can connect you with lenders experienced in franchise financing.
Do I need to be on-site full time?
During launch and the first 90 days, yes — you are learning the operation. After that, many franchisees move into a manager role and hire drivers/dispatchers as the territory grows.
Can my spouse or partner co-own the franchise?
Yes. Many of our most successful franchisees are partner-operated. We just need both names on the FDD.
What if I do not yet have my territory financing locked?
Reserve the territory first, lock financing during the equipment-and-training phase. Most lenders close in 30-60 days.
